Whole Wheat Pancakes and Apple

Making pancakes is easy. Trying to eat them in the most healthy way, easier than you think.

Years ago, I converted my kiddos over to enjoying regular whole wheat pancakes. It wasn't something I did overnight. No, siree. I had to go under the radar and change out certain ingredients one batch at a time. Here recently, I upgraded their pancakes to an even healthier recipe. Everyone has been very pleased.

Above is a photograph of my breakfast pancake. This is the way I roll: Pancake. Natural creamy peanut butter. Cinnamon apples cooked in the microwave. Oh yea, it's GOOD!

In a medium sized bowl, mashed the banana, add the ground flaxseed and water. Continue mashing and stirring until the mix looks smooth. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Give it a stir until the dry ingredients are mostly absorbed by the banana mixture. Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until batter is smooth.

Put the peeled apples that you cut into chunks in a microwave safe bowl. Give them a sprinkle of cinnamon. Nuke for 2 minutes, or until the apple is tender.

To the hot griddle, pour about 1/4 cupful of batter for each pancake. The batter will be thick. Tilt the griddle pan from left to right to help the batter spread evenly and widen into 4- to 5-inch pancakes. When bubbles start to appear, flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another minute. If the pancakes give you trouble sticking to the pan, spritz the pan a with non-stick cooking spray.

Move pancakes to a cooling rack. Then yell, "Come and get it!" Nab the prettiest pancake for yourself. Spread peanut butter over it and top with cooked apple chunks. SO GOOD!

I woke up craving pancakes (the last one I had was like 4 months ago) and found your awesome recipe. They’re really less carbageddon than classic one but without sacrificing the taste!
Thanks for sharing this!
